This meal is an end of week staple when you have a bunch of different vegetables left over from the week that just need using up. For this recipe we used red onions and red peppers alongside tinned tomatoes and a mixture of different herbs.

Depending on the veg you use, having a mixture is a great way to increase the number of plants you have eaten in the week. Don’t forget that each different herb and spice you use counts towards your weekly total. We also used vegetarian sausages in this recipe, but you can bulk this meal out with whatever you have and want. Sausages are not essential as this meal would be just as tasty packed full of different veggies and finished off with cheese. Opting for wholewheat pasta would also increase the fibre content of this recipe. Why not save some leftovers for the next day. Reheating pasta would produce resistant starch in the pasta which also acts as dietary fibre.
